The story

Mews started in 2012 as a hotel property management system and progressively layered embedded financial services on top of its PMS/POS to monetize the underlying transaction flow. From 2020 onwards it built Mews Payments on Stripe and Adyen rails, then added Multicurrency DCC in 2025 and partnered with YouLend in 2024 for embedded merchant financing — turning the PMS into the financial OS for hospitality.
